Why did the Norwegians let these people in their country in the first place?

British or French, simply because of their fascinating histories.

Integration and assimilation is a must for the Somali diaspora.

@Macallinka Italians actually urbanized large parts of Southern Somalia by building roads, dams, schools, towns, agricultural settlements etc. Just imagine if the Italians had stayed beyond the Second World War, Somalia would have become a First World country by now.

Somalia should follow the Swiss political model and become a confederacy. A federal republic divided into separate self-governing provinces where there is only one official language*. The federal flag should also be changed, the background colour from light blue to dark blue. Will this save the union? * = That one official language will of course be Somali, written in the Latin script. English and Italian language lessons should be mandatory for primary and secondary school children.

Charlie Chaplin!

Are town planning and planning permission strictly enforced in Somalia or a people allowed freely to build on land they own?

Is this what Somali culture has sunk to?

...........

Somalian's in newham make much more than 10 percent of the local population, either Diversity management , Equal opportunity and democracy is not practiced here or there is a Glass ceiling which stops somalian people becoming recruitment consultants/advisors/ managers Diversity? DIVERSITY?????!!! Another word for not assimilating. Somalis must accept that they are 'new' immigrants. They must work harder to integrate and stop milking the welfare system. Hasidic Jews, Arabs and Chinese etcetera manage without these policies, so should Somalis.

@Saalax Somalis do not speak Arabic, nor do they write in the Arabic script, so why do they feel the need to put it in their flag?

Yes, but only in Islam (and particularly in Somalia) is covering of the head forced.

Regarding the first video. Do Somalis in America speak with a ghetto/African-American accent or a normal mainstream American accent? It is is incredibly worrying if they speak with a ghetto accent.

Engineering/Computer Science.

These savages belong in Mogadishu, not Britain. Makes me embarrassed to be Somali.

I have come out of retirement to bring you thing exclusive blog drawing attention to this violent and dangerous minority who are bringing shame to Somalis everywhere. This week: A gang of Muslim girls who repeatedly kicked a young woman in the head walked free from court after a judge heard they were 'not used to being drunk' because of their religion. The group screamed '**** *** ***** ****' while kicks raining in on 22-year-old Rhea Page as she lay motionless on the ground, the court heard. The attackers - three sisters and their cousin - were told by a judge that normally they would have been sent to jail. However, he handed the girls - all Somalian Muslims - suspended sentences after hearing that they were not used to alcohol because their religion does not allow it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2070562/Muslim-girl-gang-kicked-Rhea-Page-head-yelling-kill-white-slag-FREED.html#comments

Ethiopia, like most sub-Saharan African nations, has a problem with extremely high population growth, why don't they sort that out instead of invading neighbouring countries?

@ Bluelicious If they were, why would they accept so many people from the third and fourth world to live in their countries?

To xiinfaniin: We need a political party that is agnostic, liberal, western-oriented and secular.

FGM is sickening, disgusting, barbaric and uncivilized. You are right, if those people cannot even abolish FGM, than why do they think they deserve recognition as an independent country?

Vestergaard had decided to ban all Somalis after he said a gathering of 900 Somalis celebrating an Islamic holiday became so rambunctious that it scared away other guests. Vestgaard rescinded that ban after he said the Somalis accepted that “they needed to treat our property with respect”. Am I the only one finding this funny?

Should Somali education authorities make chess compulsory in classes? It a fairly inexpensive sport that 'breeds character' and it is a fairly prestigious sport. Somalia could actually become an important nation if it produces top chess players. What do you think? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/15/armenia-chess-compulsory-schools

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is is a courageous individual and she should be saluted.

International Community, International agencies, International Media Did I read that right? So families with high fertility rates are not too blame? Religion is not too blame? Somalis who are currently fighting each other because of tribalism are not too blame?

Some are not reliable and are clearly one-sided but the majority is accurate.
